PM May: Deal on second phase of Brexit negotiations still possible by end 2020

British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday she still believed it was possible to reach a deal on the second phase of Brexit negotiations by the current deadline of Dec. 31 2020.

Asked whether she would be seeking an extension to the so-called transition period, she told a committee of lawmakers: "It is possible to achieve it by the end of December 2020, the withdrawal agreement has within it the possibility of an extension of that implementation period."
